Drive by

Remember me? I know, I'm a bad blogger. Between caring my my little one, driving back and forth from Buffalo and working, I have neglected all of you (well, all 4 of my readers) in blogosphere. Anyhoo, I'm back, but I don't have anything too interesting to report. Oh wait: my mom is home!

Yup, she came home last Friday and it's awesome! She was in the hospital, then the rehab center, then the hospital, then another hospital, then the rehab center again for more than a month. But she's back and she's loving every minute. She's still wheelchair bound and I'm not sure if that's going to be a permanent thing. She has PT every few days as well. Lee and I went out and got a wireless router for her laptop so she can chill on the couch and check her email.

In other news, Joey is AWE.SOME. He's so stinkin cute, I can't even explain it. I need to upload new pictures, but in the meantime, you'll just have to survive on some videos and older pics. I gave him a taste of my ice cream last night. I know, bad mommy! He loved it and started whimpering when Lee wouldn't give him any more. He's definitely my son. He has four teeth now! He likes to chew on my shoulder - ouch. He also has bitten another part of me while eating. You can picture it. It's not fun. I'll leave it at that.
We are in negotiations right now on the sale of our house! Hollllerrrrr. It's a huge relief, especially considering the market is in the toilet. Hopefully we're closing in August. Right now we are cautiously optimistic.

So anyhoo, here are some pics and videos. Toodles!
First taste of ice cream. Mint-ting-a-long with a little hot fudge.


More, please!



Matthew and Joey collectively pissed at their mothers.



Did I give birth to a 5 year old?


First boat ride!



Chillin out maxin relaxin all cool.



So cute.

Wait for it...
Wait for it...
And, scene.


Okay, the story behind this video. I actually took it a long time ago (in April) but never posted it because I sound so obnoxious. When Joey first started laughing a lot, the strangest noises would just crack him up. So here I am, making a god-awful sound to make him laugh. Unfortunately for you, I was practically screaming into the microphone apparently. Anyhoo, around 16 seconds, he starts his belly laugh. It's to die for.


And this video was taken last week in the big boy tub! And yes, I strategically placed the washcloth over his cash and prizes.

Time to put on my big girl pants

The inevitable is about to happen. I found out yesterday that I have to attend a conference next week in Boston. I have to leave my baby for two whole nights! I'm beside myself. I knew the time would come when we'd be apart for more than 8 hours but I'm still just dreading it. Especially because I'm still nursing him. This is a logistical nightmare. Luckily, the lovely people at the TSA pulled their heads out of their collectives asses and revised their traveling with breastmilk policy. I still face a few challenges, however. Please wish me luck. Oh, and wish Lee luck because that's a long time to be on Joey duty all alone!

Speaking of that precious baby face Joey, check out this video I took on Wednesday. We were on the way home from seeing my mom at Roswell. The poor little lad is always going with me to and fro from the B-lo. I tried to entertain him by playing a little peek-a-boo.
